iPhone continuity calling works from my iPad but not my Mac. Yosemite 10.10. iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1 Using same Apple ID, everything turned on in FaceTime and iPhone per instructions. Both on the same Wi-Fi network
Get this message: IPHONE NOT AVAILABLE, your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
They are on the same network.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and use the calling feature too, recently I had changed the caller ID settings on my iPhone for FaceTime. That was it.
Later the problem started where I couldn't accept calls on my MacBook, as soon as I accept the call it fails. And also making calls from MBP always showed call failed.
I was receiving messages(both iMessage and SMS), only the calling feature was not working.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
||THIS WORKED FOR ME||
Setting on iPhone-->Go to FaceTime-->Caller ID-->Should be Ticked on the Cellular number and not the email IDs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
As soon as ticked on the phone number and tried making a call, I accepted it on my MBP and IT WORKED!!!
Also, I tried making a call from MBP using iPhone ("tried it again") it works.
No need to change anything in your MBP FaceTime preferences, no need to turn off and on FaceTime.
All this happened because I changed my FaceTime caller ID from my Phone Number to my iCloud email ID and since then the calls started getting failed.
As far as everything was working perfectly fine and stopped all of sudden after making changes on the FaceTime in your phone this method should work for you.
Give it a try.
thanks EnergyExec
That fixed me! I've been working on this for 2 days. Firewall was turned off, but "block all incoming connections" was still checked. Thanks for posting!
well i found out what was going on so if you a sprint phone you need to go setting then go to phone then make sure you wifi calling is on then look under that and go to calls on other devices and turn that on as well then you should be set and ready to make call
I have this issue when both my iphone and ioad or macbook are on the 5ghz wifi. (Error that iphone needs to be on the same network)
text messages just work, just not calling.
when i switch my iphone to the 2,4ghz network it works fine...
is this a known bug?
your service is with what company
I dont think this has anything to do with the cellular service, and we don't have wifi calling here.
I have an airport with dual wifi setup, so a 2.4 and 5ghz wifi network.
with my previous iPhone 4S i never had a problem because that only supports 2,4ghz.
but my 6s plus can connect to both networks.
I first thought it might be that my mac still tried to connect to my old phone (which was logged out of icloud and co oletely reset even).
but messaging worked with my new phone, just not calling.
So maybe other people that have that issue can try to switch the wifi band they are on to see if that works?
Thanks for the fix. I was having the issue; no error message or any message at all. When I clicked a phone number and said use the iPhone to call, nothing at all happened. I turned FaceTime off and it began working again
I had this issue and under Settings>Phone there's a setting for "Calls on Other Devices". This was not toggled on. Toggled it on and viola! I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.2 and a MBP OS X 10.11.1
I was having problems similar to those described in other posts and found a slightly different solution. When trying to make a call from Contacts I was simply clicking on the phone icon to the right of the phone number and nothing happened. I found that when I right (or Control) click the phone number itself a menu appears offering, among other things. "Call (xxx) xxx-xxxx Using iPhone". I scrolled down to the option, clicked and the call was initiated.

Problem solved for me.
After upgrading to 10.10.3 and logging in, I was prompted for my iCloud password. Of late, I'd enter it, and then get asked about seven more times to enter it. Today though when I entered it the first time, I was them prompted to created an app-specific password for iMessages and FaceTime.
I know this is old but there is no “app specific password” for FaceTime or Messages. It is you AppleID password.
thanks... it help me..
I was trying to troubleshoot this same issue. For some reason, the number I was trying to dial had a +1 in front of the number from my phone book. As soon as I removed the + sign, it allowed the call to go through.
Tried all of the solutions here.
If you have an Airport Extreme or Base Station, go to Airport Utility / Base Station / Restart. This fixed it for me so it was probably an IP address issue.
Good Luck!
Turning FaceTime off and on again on my iPhone worked for me when I upgraded my 5s to a 6se. Thanks for the tip keltong ✅
